Some of the comments to the post said that the data in the post is outdated.. Anyhoo. Why didn't I know that in Wisconsin law school grads don't have to take the bar exam to be licensed?!???
And I couldn't agree more with a comment by a Marybeth Chugg, Esq.:
"Compare too the treatment of a student accepted tip medical school. Once a student is accepted into medical school absolutely every effort is made by medical schools and everyone in the student’s formation to ensure the student becomes a licensed medical doctor. The same should happen for those choosing the legal profession. The vetting and screening happens before a student enters the professional school, not after. Once in the professional school, then everything should be done to help the student become the professional they signed up to become. The legal profession’s licensing and failure to have 100% reciprocity nationwide is a disgrace."
On the other hand, . . .
Former Dean of Stanford Law School failed to pass the Clifornia bar exam; A Mayor tries four times (WSJ article)

"Although she is licensed to practice law in New York and Massachusetts, Ms. Sullivan was taking the California exam for the first time after joining a Los Angeles-based firm as an appellate specialist. The California bar exam has created misery for thousands of aspiring and practicing lawyers. Former California Gov. Jerry Brown passed on his second try, while former Gov. Pete Wilson needed four attempts. The recently elected mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio R. Villaraigosa, never did pass the bar after failing four times.
. . . . Ms. Sullivan is unlikely to need as many attempts as Maxcy Dean Filer, who may hold the California bar endurance record, having passed in 1991 after 47 unsuccessful tries. The Compton, Calif., man, who says he'll practice any kind of law that "comes through the door -- except probate and bankruptcy," says he always tried to psych himself up before taking the test by repeating, "I didn't fail the bar, the bar failed me.""
